What are we holding on to? In this age of great change and substantial upheavals? That's at the heart of KEEP, AEB’s motto for get connected this year. Because one thing is for sure: Connection and interaction make a difference: in the supply chain, across borders, in our digital and our real life. Hence our motto:
K E E P
KEEP GOODS IN MOTION
KEEP MINDS OPEN
STAY CONNECTED
The topics all stem from the fields of foreign trade, customs management, global trade compliance, logistics, transport, sustainability, collaboration - always in relation to technology and IT.
These three tracks are at the heart of the day:
- SUPPLY CHAIN
- CROSS-BORDER
- TECH
Additionally, we offer inspiration on how to get and stay connected in:
- REAL LIFE
K E E P – after a successful trial run in 2024, we are making get connected even more international: Most of what is taking place at get connected will be offered in German or English. Many sessions and talks will also be translated simultaneously. Our promise: Even if you don't speak a word of German, you will get the full get connected experience.
So: Please invite your international peers and colleagues...
It's no surprise that get connected continues to reinvent itself - and will deliver a few surprises :-)
One thing we can spoil: After 2024's FOMO moment with many different, simultaneous sessions and individual agendas for each participant, the program's focus in 2025 will be connection and interaction: that is why we have created three interlinked tracks.
You can expect 2 x 2,5 hours of input within the three tracks:
SUPPLY CHAIN, CROSS-BORDER und TECH.
You can change tracks during the day, of course, but the program within each block will be so compelling and the experience in the group so valuable that you will most likely want to stay for the whole track.
Naturally, that also means: Loooong breaks. Making sure that get connected lives up to its name beyond cross-border, supply chain, and tech.
In the late afternoon, we look at things from a different angle and round out the day's program with deeper, perspective-changing talks and sessions before winding it down with a get together.
Food drinks will, of course, be provided.
Your ticket for the event is free of charge. We want AEB get connected to be the summit for the best in globald trade, logistics & tech. A conference-workshop-networking summit. And we think it should be free. And that its value lies in everybody participating wholeheartedly.
We hope you won't have to. But if you do have to cancel, simply use the appropriate link in your confirmation e-mail.
